IBEW RESPECT

The Unity Club, Business Manager Jacobs, along with the Business Representatives, have worked hard to build a good relationship with the rest of the Building Trades. Building strong relationships with the other trades has helped in support as we battle our enemies on job sites and in politics. Business Manager Jacobs was unanimously elected the new Vice President of the St. Louis Building Trades. A positive contract in 2016, with wage and benefit increases that were better than average, set a high bar for the other trades to shoot for.
